So we give up two firsts for Yarran?
But not 12.
meh. already looks like a dick swinging contest tbh
Unfortunately for you....Henderson,Bell and Menzel are far better players than the GWS spuds. I am assuming you forgot to factor that in.

Not sure if its been posted anywhere here but Titus O'Reily's latest effort "Carlton Blues being player free by 2018" is very very amusing.

I'm precious!
Well in that case I hope he proves you right next year. Unfortunately I think your biggest issue now with him will be that he will resent the club and not buy in to your culture or be motivated in any way to help you succeed.

How?
18 isn't going to you (SOS already rejected 17), so it's fifteen for you
So our pick is virtually unchanged, but the Hawks get 12 instead of you
I hate Carlton with a passion, but why do I want to help the Hawks draft position for no benefit?

I thought the same of Andy Collins and we accepted massive unders in Shaun Grigg. Think it's your turn.
Carlton want a first round pick for Yarran.
According to them, 19 is not a first rounder.
So we can give them 18 from the Hawks and use 15 ourselves.
I'd do it.
I'm always happy to leave ours in our pants and only bring it out when it really matters. I think the Bluebaggers have forgotten what their for now after so many years of being the flaccid and unused.

We know you aren't making it up, it's just we aren't crazy enough to do it. Carlton probably counter-offering through the media.

Yesterday it was reported he knocked back us using brissys pick 17 as well, so 18 ain't enough
I think, they think we'll give them 15, and 18 would be a one spot upgrade on 19. It's crazy.

It must be true if it got reported in the paper
Rodney Dangerfield
Doesn’t matter
Can't figure Silvagni and Carlton out.
Champion player, absolute star.
Then he gives them up for Salary cap cheating, ****s them for years.
Then amazingly Carlton take him back despite a lot of Carlton people insisting he should never be let back near the joint.
Then yesterday he pulls that stunt?
I reckon deep down he hates Carlton.

I haven't seen much of him, but would Tomlinson be a fit for our side?
Apparently they have agreed to trade him for 12, with Yarran dead why not go direct?

Haven't seen much of him either, but I was wondering the same thing myself. He would have to fit a need though, we can't just do it to annoy Carlton.

If we played him as a midfielder it'd be worth a crack.
He's got a bit of toe and is a nice size.
Like about 6 foot 3-4.
Just wouldn't want him to be one of these blokes who can't nail a spot
From memory he was touted as a possible Richo clone, big winger with a massive tank.

Ah poor Chunkylover, he is actually thinking SOS is helping his club due to the "mega trade: lol.
I just wanted to address this point for any carlton lurker who belives the same.
We've lost Henderson, Bell and Menzel and received 4 GWS kids, Kerridge (who may or may not make it), all the while keeping pick 1, 8, 20 and 21.
See the issue with the above is simply they have lost Henderson, Bell and Menzel so far, outside of Bell, or naturally skilled players. They just hated playing for the blues but when they enjoyed there footy they were good. Bell is a warrior, i rate him as that kid is a bull, average in skill but plays 100%.
Now they have to fill that hole of talent. So SOS heads to GWS for 4 kids who have struggled for many reasons. There one gem out of that, Plowmen is always injured but lets say he stays injury free. So they have to back there development, that is there weakness, there development of players is seriously shit. A perfect example is the two GWS boys they recruited last year and the blue supporters said the exact same thing. The other 3 players they have received all have shown very limited ability regardless of there draft position.
So if they cant fill the void of talent with those 4, they need to look at the draft and nail those picks. My question, the blues are aweful in nailing picks, they are old richmond like. They also have to do it in a shallow draft where pick 1-5 are clear stand outs, 6-10 are all the same in ability and 11-20 ditto are similar then from 20-30 it drops in quality but still ok players and from 31 onwards its a lucky draw.
Good luck blues, you will need it.

Given that Hawthorn are pretty sharp at the trade table I tend to agree. I'd be running any suggestion from them under several microscopes to find out how, precisely, we're being screwed!
